Who should be blamed for the lack of exclusive SF X Tekken characters on Xbox 360

Last night, Capcom usa announced that Mega-man and Pac-man are going to join Toro, Kuro, and Cole as sony exclusive characters for Street Fighter x Tekken. Minutes later, the official Capcom forums where swarmed by angry fans blaming Capcom for not caring for the xbox 360 fan base. But who should be really blamed for such move?

Exactly, Ono already stated that they approached both Sony & ms. Sony paid for the development of their guest characters, like cole, toro & kuro. Though I'm not sure about pacman or megaman as to why their exclusive but it possible that sony paid for them too or Capcom is trying to push the vita version, then release them later as free dlc. While on Ms side, Ono stated they wanted to get master cheif or marcus fenix, but It's been overall difficult for them hence no xbox exclusive characters. Same thing happened with mortal kombat.

Most people play their fighting games on the PS3 (they always sell more on PS3) but ironically all the US's pro players only play on Xbox. Jwong, Nerdjosh, Combofiend, Viscant, Alex Valle, Filipino Champ, Marlinepie, etc.

Around a month ago I asked in a chat why they don't play on PSN and Clockw0rk came I said that the PS3 was trash. With this in mind I can assume that every PS3 exclusive character will be banned from tournaments since they all only own and practice on Xbox. =/

Well, I could careless if those guys are tournament players, & I know there are pro players out there that doesn't care about tournaments & will definitely beat them, it's not like they're athletes or anything of that sort!!!!

I think that "PS3 is trash" argument by Clockw0rk is irrelevant since both PS3 & 360 aren't that different when it comes to online multiplayer, even my best friend who's an Xbox fanboy & I beat his ass on both consoles, I just happen to play more on PS3, especially 3rd Strike... And there's lots of good pro players on PSN that I know could beat those fools any day, any time, but out of those U.S. players, I only like Alex Valle & PR-Rog, I could careless about the rest!!!!

Killer instinct really? Fighters from another fighting game? The problem with 360 is MS have been funding it since day 1 for hardcore gamers and now they don't care about you. They want Kienct to succeed and nothing more. But the fact people moan because of a lack of character? You chose the damn console at the end of the day! Nobody forced you to pick 360 over PS3. Get over yourselves and grow up I say. You cant pick 1 console then cry because the other console has something yours doesn't. If it bothers you that much get both. That's what I did and don't regret it 1 bit.

unfortunately this game has turned into another Capcom Vs. i thought it was going to have the solid slower-paced and more focused feel of the SFIV gameplay away from the chaotic and blinding orgy of moves of the Vs. games.

Microsoft don't have enough active exclusive franchises. I think that's the main problem here. Apart from Fable, Forza, Halo and Gears, they've pummelled all of the rest into irrelevancy for some strange reason.

And I'm sure we Xbox gamers can do just find without those two characters. don't know why anyone would "cry" foul, I could see if ps3 had exclusive characters like Alex, Elena, Bryan Fury or anyone else that is relevant to the SF and Tekken universe. But these guys are joke characters and probably won't even be allowed in the tournys. ;)

How can you guys REALLY be okay with getting LESS stuff all the time? I mean seriously, I'm not all that big into fighters (BlazBlue and Rivals Schools on PS1 are it for me) but I'd still be bothered if there were a bunch of Xbox characters on the 360 side, and no Sony characters on the PS3 side. Hell, even if I had no plans to get the game (and I don't), I'd be upset for those PS3-only owners that got shafted out of extra content.

But for some of you Xbox guys, it's no big deal to not have extra characters, map packs, retro games (Battlefield and Medal of Honor, for example), or even whole freakin first party game.

Shit, I'm mad FOR you. Same as I get mad for CoD fans who STILL have to wait for map packs even though they bought Elite BECAUSE THEY'RE ON PS3.

Edit: Yep, I'm a huge Sony fan. But I've got a reason: GAMES. For the past three generations, I have not lacked for games on my Sony consoles. In the previous two, however, their competitors didn't inexplicably stop making games.

Since their success is based on the support of myself and others like me, I think we have the right to be mad about being shafted, no matter how "little" it may appear to some. ESPECIALLY when it's something multiple consoles will have in common. If not the same, a 360 owner should expect comparable- if not the same- bonuses as a PS3 owner, just like both should expect the same level of quality in a multiplat.

You see, maniac, I'm a gamer. I've got my gaming preference, but I don't want to see ANYBODY getting the shot end of the stick. When the WiiU comes out, I expect its owners to not get shafted. I expect there to be tons of first party support, along with third party support. I expect that when Sony or MS get exclusive bonuses in a game, Ninty will get their own exclusive bonuses, too.

Even if you think they suck- and you haven't played with them, so you really don't know- extra characters are still extra characters. (Side note: all your buddies may play on 360, but aren't most tourneys played on PS3 now?) As a big fighting game fan, how can you REALLY justify having fewer characters?

I don't "shed a tear" for fanboys. Fanboys almost invariably screw themselves over by supporting things they shouldn't. I shed a tear for all the FANS of Xbox (READ: not fanBOYS) who get screwed over thanks to fanboys' support and Microsoft's greedy practices. I shed a tear for all fans of GAMING who are hurt by ANY fanboys, and ANY company's greedy practices. That's why, in general, I don't support Capcom this generation.

There's a difference between you and I: one of us is hellbent on making sure our preferred company's closest rival looks bad whenever possible, and the other wants that rival company to do better by its consumers instead of chasing profits.

That's because you're a huge Sony fan that can't get past this console war. And you'll get "mad" at the stupidest little things that will affect no one and have no impact on anything relevant.

To get mad at every little thing this console or that console game might have extra is completely stupid and a waste of time. There will sometimes be extra content for one system as oppose to the other. That's life, why the hell would I get mad for these ridiculous characters. A fat megaman, not even the regular megaman we all know and love and the net is even complaining about that. Two small stupid looking cartoon cats, pac-man in a big wooden robot suit...the only cool character out of these extras is Cole.

But as you stated yourself you are NOT a big fighting game guy and have no plans to even purchase this game so of course all you see is the fanboy side of it and expect Xbox folks to get Hulk angry. But what i see as a huge fighting fan are these fighters not being relevant and allowed in major tourny's like i already stated above.

And please don't pretend you're shedding a tear for the Xbox fanboys. I know what you're all about Hicken.

And if it was that serious i would Gamefly this for my fat 60g ps3. Unfortunately all my fighting buddies are on 360.
